WHY WORK WITH US

Factory-Built Housing

Meet Gary Godley
Real Estate Knowledge. Building Experience. One Trusted Resource.

Gary works with you-not around you.

Your relationship with your client remains yours. Gary becomes the factory-built housing specialist you can bring to the table when needed.

Gary Godley brings together two areas of experience that rarely come in one package--real estate and home construction.

​

That combination gives Gary a practical understanding of what it takes to move a factory-built home from an idea on paper to a completed home on a property.

​

His role isn't simply to sell a home. It's to help Realtors and their clients understand the entire process, identify potential obstacles, evaluate alternatives, and make informed decisions.

 

Gary's goal is simple: make factory-built housing easier for Realtors to offer and easier for Michigan families to understand and purchase.

Success Stories

Helping Realtors. Helping Buyers. Creating Homeowners.

“A solution I could offer my client.”
"I had a buyer whose needs couldn't be satisfied through existing inventory and Gary helped develop a factory-built housing alternative."
